Chapter six hundred and sixty-six, preemptive and late strike
"Not okay yet?!"
Clenching his teeth, Zhang William waved the Breath of the Storm in his hand and fought on the battlefield.
The sword blade blessed by magic power glowed coldly in the sun, and the azure gemstone inlaid on the hilt was even more brilliant.
The enemy's blood gathered along the edge of the sword to the tip, and then continued to drip onto the ground.
After killing thirty or forty enemy soldiers one after another.
This sword, carefully forged by elven craftsmen, is still sharp.
On the main force's side, the gradually established advantage cannot allow him to relax.
What he needs is a big victory that can save most of his troops.
This is not to say that fighting Luo Ji would result in both sides losing.
Even if half of the troops are lost, this loss is unacceptable to Zhang William, who is about to be promoted to the Black Iron rank.
Seventy percent! Preserve 70% of the troops and win this battle.
This is Zhang William’s bottom line!
If Luo Ji knew about the other party's idea.
He will definitely laugh out loud.
I have really been underestimated.
Losing 30% of his troops and defeating his army of nearly 10,000 people?
It even includes special units like giant elephant warriors, war elephants and tiger men.
And the most powerful army under his command, the Xuanjia Army!
Isn't this just looking down on people?
Fortunately, Luo Ji didn't know that at this moment, he was riding a prairie fire, leading his escorts to charge back and forth on the battlefield.
However, there was also a hint of uneasiness in his heart.
Because it's so peaceful.
It cannot be said that Zhang William played poorly this time.
From the beginning to the present, there is basically no fault to be found in the opponent's layout.
Of course, there are no bright spots.
It is a relatively solid and safe play.
Even with this style of play, the opponent is steadily building an advantage because of their weapons.
But if the fight continues at this pace, even if Zhang William can win, more than half of his troops will probably be killed or wounded, or even both sides will suffer losses.
According to Luo Ji's thinking, Zhang William, who was about to be promoted to the black iron rank, would not be able to accept this casualty.
After all, being seriously injured by him and then being promoted to the Black Iron rank, what's the difference between that and waiting to die?
So Luo Ji almost made up his mind.
That William definitely holds some kind of trump card.
Moreover, it is a super powerful trump card that can seal the victory once revealed!
The unknown is really scary.
He hasn't taken action yet, but it makes him uneasy.
"Pre-emptive strike? Or post-strike?"
A decision that made Luo Ji a little hesitant.
He didn't know what Zhang William's trump card was.
I don't know whether it's right or wrong to strike first.
But the time doesn't wait for anyone.
After hesitating for a while, Luo Ji gritted his teeth.
"Blow the horn and take action!"
The passionate sound of the attack horn echoed on the battlefield.
Upon hearing the signal, Burigude, who had been hiding on the outskirts of the battlefield with his troops, suddenly became energetic.
“It’s time to make great achievements, brothers, come with me!!”
With an order, Burigude led 1,500 horse archers under his command and rushed directly into the battlefield!
The fierce movement caused by the formation of horseshoes caused Zhang William's face to sink decisively inside the battlefield.
"That guy really brought cavalry!"
After all, he had invaded Luo Ji once.
After exposing the output capability of the back row of their elven civilization, it seemed strange that the opposing player did not bring cavalry to the back row.
However, the fact is that since the invasion war began, he has never seen the cavalry on the opposite side.
Zhang William almost concluded in his mind that it was Luo Ji who hid the cavalry in his hands.
But now, this cavalry team that had been hidden in the dark finally took action.
He looked at the cavalry team that rushed into the battlefield and charged straight into the back row of his elf army.
William Zhang breathed a sigh of relief instead.
He felt uncomfortable when the other party never showed up.
After confirming the target, Zhang William quickly visually measured the distance, and then decisively signaled the elf mage in the back row to switch spells.
Just wait for the cavalry team to rush up, and then give them a fierce head-on attack.
However, just when Zhang William was thinking this.
The scene that happened next was completely beyond his expectation.
I saw the strong cavalry team. After approaching a certain point, the cavalrymen on horseback quickly raised their bows and arrows.
Wait [Biquge www.biqugexx.biz] Wait! Bow and arrow?
William Zhang looked startled.
Before he could think too much, the leader, Burigude, had already given the order to shoot arrows.
A full 1,500 horse archers bent their bows and set arrows at the same time. This battle was not small, and a volley of fire came directly to wreak havoc!
Looking at the almost overwhelming rain of arrows.
William Zhang’s expression completely changed.
"First-level wind pressure, let go!!!"
There is no need to say more. At this moment, even if it is for their own lives, the elf mages in the back row will never be ambiguous.
At that time, I only felt a violent surge of air around me.
Accompanied by a muffled sound of 'bang'.
The whole swarm of flying arrows seemed to have been attacked by some invisible attack, and they were all blown to bits on the spot.
Luo Ji put down the telescope in his hand and took in this scene completely, and it suddenly became clear to him.
"So that's it. Du Yuanzhi said that the cavalry in the rear row were all wiped out inexplicably before. Looking at the current situation, it should be the elf mage on the opposite side who cast a spell similar to the one that destroyed our army's formation before, and destroyed the rushing troops.
The cavalry in front was knocked down."
The information Luo Ji obtained at that time was really limited.
In order to prevent his cavalry from being completely wiped out.
Luo Ji thought of a very simple solution.
If you jump up, you will be killed, so wouldn't it be better if you don't jump up?
This is the advantage of having a wide variety of troops.
Even if you encounter some situations with limited intelligence, you can always pick out a few units that can handle it.
Archers are just a suitable choice.
After all, Burigude was also a veteran under Luo Ji.
Having experienced many strong winds and waves, and with Luo Ji's warning in advance, it was natural that he would not panic because of this little thing.
No nonsense, keep a safe shooting distance.
The second salvo came quickly.
Seeing this, Zhang William's entire expression suddenly became cloudy and uncertain.
The first-level spell Wind Pressure Chanting is very fast, but no matter how fast it is, it is impossible to cast a second one immediately after casting one.
But the horse archers on the opposite side can do this kind of thing.
This time, Luo Ji gave him a 'surprise'.
In the bronze tier, due to cost and training difficulty, cavalry is a very rare unit.
At least he has been in this rank for so many years and has never encountered him a few times.
It had been a long time since he last met the horse archers.
It had been so long that if he hadn't seen it today, he would have almost forgotten this unit.
The hands holding the hilt of the sword continued to tighten, and there was a slight struggle in Zhang William's eyes.
Then, he swore harshly and swung the sword that affected the strong wind!
